Description: Donate your plasma to Biolife and receive money twice a week. You can donate twice a week with a required minimum of two days between donations. Biolife requires a physical to be admitted into the donation program. Biolife’s trained employees hook you up to a machine that removes blood, separates it from the plasma and puts red blood cells back in. The process takes about an hour or so and you can spend the down time studying, reading, surfing the Internet, watching movies, or listening to music while hooked up to the machine.
